Physicians have dealt with a 29% real decline in Medicare reimbursements over the past two decades, even as practice expenses (like staffing, equipment, and malpractice insurance) have risen faster than inflation

This proposed cut is akin to telling a factory worker, “Great job automating the line to boost output. Here’s a pay cut because you’re too productive now.”

Urology community: make your voice heard now. Like and retweet… extend the reach. Don’t assume others will do it.

[John Leppert @johnleppert]

excited to start on editorial board @JUrology and fun to see it in print ! I hope to live up to the legacy of Dr Grayhack, my first urology mentor @NorthwesternMed. I'm always open to hear new ideas and research to champion ! @StanfordUrology @AmerUrological
